Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, supports collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and improves the quality of photo-damaged or inflamed skin.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, provides a range of benefits for the skin. It helps to increase the production of elastic fibres and collagen, which restores and restructures skin quality and elasticity. Vitamin C reduces deep skin wrinkles. It is also a good anti-inflammatory agent that aids in post-surgical recovery by decreasing erythema (redness of the skin). Overall, it improves the quality of skin that has been photo-damaged or has lost its elasticity.
Vitamin C is highly recommended for individuals who experience skin loosening, skin stress, unwanted brown spots, or inflammation. It is ideal for patients who have dull skin and wish to restore their skin to a healthier, more glowing, and youthful condition. Results of improvement become visible after four weeks.
The use of vitamin C/ascorbic acid in dermatology has solid scientific grounds, and multiple published papers confirm its efficacy. A selection of relevant literature is available through the National Library of Medicine PubMed database.
